Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network Analysis

The Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is a technology that enables cars to act as nodes in a network, creating a mobile network. It has various capabilities such as high dynamic topology, frequent disconnected networks, and mobility modeling and prediction. VANET plays an important role in cybersecurity, enhancing road safety by enabling vehicles to communicate with each other, protecting different networks through proper communication channels, identifying vulnerabilities, and proposing relevant solutions.

The Vehicular Ad-hoc Network 1
The cybersecurity technology that has been used in this paper is "The Vehicular Ad-Hoc
Network (Al-Sultan, 2014)." It is a technology that widely used for the purpose of moving cars
as nodes in a network to create a mobile network. This technology mainly turns every
participating car into a wireless node or router which further allow them to create their network
with a wide range. The technology comes with a wide set of capabilities. Some of them are the
high dynamic topology, frequent disconnected network, mobility modeling and prediction, and
various others. From past some 5 years, this the VANET technology is frequently emerging day
by day. It has been clarified the facts given by the Loo (2016). The researcher said that the
VANET is used now in a large number of fields such as communication or information
technology. Due to the growing use of this technology, it has gained enough attraction of big
business houses.
It is mainly popular in the areas which are related to warning lights, maintenance and highway
construction, weather-related hazards, and stop and go traffic information. VANET plays an
important role in cybersecurity. In cybersecurity, this technology mainly used to enhance the
safety on the roads by enabling vehicles to communicate with each other. In the protection area
of cybersecurity VANET mainly protects the different networks by enforcing proper
communication channel (Pathan, 2016). On the other hand, in other areas like defense, recovery,
and resilience, and remediation the VANET mainly identify the different vulnerabilities and
propose a relevant solution for further improvement.
